Hull Hubs’ Player Contributions Aid NHL Club In Stretch Drive
KINGSTON, Ont.— If anyone doubted the value of the Eastern Pro loop to the NHL those doubts should be dispelled by now. Take Montreal Canadiens for instance. Canadiens have been hit hard by injuries this season, particularly in the latter portion. And most of the time when Habs are in trouble they dip into their Hull-Ottawa Canadiens farm club to bridge the gap. Right now, for instance, Montreal has the best part of Hull-Ottawa’s defense residing in Montreal. Terry Harper went up first when Tom Johnson was injured. Then rookie defenseman Jacques Laperriere joined him when Lou Fonti-nato suffered his serious neck injury. Neither will be back. Also up as an emergency replacement is left wing-centre Gordon (Red) Berenson who has been up and down more times than a yo yo this season. Also add to…
Kyle Says EPHL Plans Expansion
KINGSTON, Ont.— EPHL LEFTOVERS: Alain (Boom Boom) Caron, St. Louis’ dangerous right winger became a 50-goal scorer last week—and he did it in 48 games… Kingston Frontenacs’ most consistent forward, Gerry Ouellette, will be lost to the club until at least the playoffs with, a broken thumb. Coach Gus Kyle of St. Louis said the team will remain in St. Louis next year. The Braves, a farm club of Chicago Black Hawks, moved from Syracuse, N. Y., at mid-season this year. Kyle said the league will expand next year. He said Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs have expressed a desire to place teams in the league. Kyle said at least two more teams would be added to make a total of six.…
Henderson Wins Kaminsky A ward; Niagara, Montreal Gain Finals
ST. CATHARINES, Ont.— Paul Henderson, Hamilton Red Wing right winger, is the 1962-63 winner of the Max Kaminsky Memorial Trophy. The trophy, similar to the Lady Byng in the National Hockey League, is awarded annually to the player in the Ontario Hockey Association junior “A” league best combining gentlemanly conduct with effective play. It is in memory of Max Kaminsky, former amateur and professional player who died exactly one year after coaching St. Catharines Teepees to the Memorial Cup in the 1959-60 season. Previous winners were Bruce Draper of Toronto St. Michael’s Majors (1960-61) and Lowell MacDonald of Hamilton Red Wings (1961-62). Henderson completed his third and final season of junior with Hamilton this year, scoring a league-leading total of 49 goals. He added 27 assists for a total of 76 points, third highest in…
Ron Muir Helps Generals Scuttle Charlotte “Jinx” In Playoffs
GREENSBORO, N.C.— Ron Muir, the forgotten man of the Greensboro Generals, proved the decisive factor as the Southern division champions cracked their Charlotte jinx to advance to the finals of the Eastern Hockey League playoffs with the Clin’ton Comets, the Northern Division kings. Greensboro eliminated Charlotte, 3 games to 2, in a fiercely waged series to earn the right to meet Clinton which ousted Long Island, 3-1 after trimming Philly three straight. … Scored Payoff Goal Muir was not expected to cause much trouble to the Checkers in their pre-series rundown of their opposition. The Generals No. 1 line of Don Davidson, Garry Sharp and Bob Boucher was feared. So was Ron Spong and Don Carter. But little attention was given to Muir who was an All-Star selection in the 1961-62 season but who…
